Port Forwarding Question - Detailed

Hi,
I hate wasting people's time, so I will give you very detailed information.
So here's an overview of the network. I have a WRT54G with V4.21 firmware on it. I also have a WRE54G Range Expander. Both are secured. We have 3 desktops, 2 laptops, and some game consoles hooked up to the wireless internet, with nothing connected with an ethernet cable (all wireless).
A friend and myself want to play an online game, which requires one person to be a server, and one to be a client. He doesn't have access to his network configurations, so I will end up being the server.
I have setup port forwarding, and the program gives me a Socket Error of 10061 - Connection was refused forcefully.
The port is 1001 that we need open.
I have checked with my ISP, and have found that they are not blocking any ports, so I know that is not an issue.
If I hook the computer up directly to the modem, it works fine, so it is definitely a forwarding issue.
I have DHCP turned off on the computer, my local IP address is 192.168.1.106
My port forwarding settings look like this.
Application: (Blank... but I have used other names during tests)
Start: 1001
End: 1001
Protocol: Both (I have also tried TCP and UDP individually)
IP Address: 192.168.1.106 (my static IP address)
Enabled: True
I have also tried turning the SPI Firewall Protection off, as well as Block Anonymous Internet Requests.
The IP address that the person is using to connect to the computer with is my router's IP address (which is propagated directly from the modem). With the port 1001. This is the same combination used when the computer is hooked up directly to the modem, however with it behind the router, the forwarding just doesn't seem to handle the forward.
I have tried it with Windows Firewall turned off, as well as my Norton AV.
I have also created exceptions and completely opened port 1001 in Windows Firewall just in case.
I've also tried just simply restarting the computer.
I'm tapped out of ideas... can anyone else suggest anything?

Alright, I went through the checklist, and every single step in the checklist checked out, except for connecting from outside the LAN. I can connect to the server through 192.168.1.150:1001, but not through xxx.xxx.96.215:1001.
Here are all settings that have been changed (everything else should be assumed to be default values):
Wireless/Security:
Security Mode: WEP
Default Transmit Key: 1
WEP Encryption: 128 bits 26 hex digits
Passphrase: Have been set
Key 1, 2, 3, 4: Have been set
Security/Firewall:
Firewall Protection: Disable
Block Anonymous Internet Requests: False
Filter Multicast: True
Filter Internet NAT Redirection: False
Filter IDENT(Port 113): True
Applications & Gaming/Port Range Forward:
Application: (no name given)
Start: 1001
End: 1001
Protocol: Both (TCP & UDP)
IP Address: 192.168.1.150
Enable: True
Now, here is the Status Page of the Router:

Port Forwarding Question for IP Camera with MI424WR-GEN3

So just switched to fios from cable and trying to set up port forwarding on this new actiontec router so I can view my IP Camera from outside the house.
The camera has a static IP address of 192.168.1.200 using port 8080 and I works fine if I type that IP address with the port into the browser inside the network.
The IP Camera company requires you to port forward port 80 (switched to 8080) 554 and 50000-60000.
So I set up Portforwarding on the router like this:
Networked Computer / Device
192.168.1.200:8080
Applications & Ports Forwarded
IPCamera
TCP 8080 -> 8080
UDP 8080 -> 8080
TCP 554 -> 554
UDP 554 -> 554
TCP 50000-60000 -> 50000-60000
UDP 50000-60000 -> 50000-60000
WAN Connection Type
All Broadband Devices
Status
Active
Now the problem is when I type my real IP address: 108.XX.XXX.37:8080 (from inside the network it pulls up the Fios router login page and when I pull it up outside the network I get page not found. This isnt any different then I had previously done on my Netgear router, but I must be missing something on this actiontec one. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Solved!

No port on the ip address
Networked Computer / Device
192.168.1.200
should say tcp any on the left side of the arrow in all cases
TCP any -> 8080
UDP any -> 8080
etc

New network/port forwarding questions

I just replaced my Airport Extreme with a 1TB TC and set up a primary network (AirNett) and a Guest network (Guest). I added Port Mapping entries for my computers (running Tiger), SlingBoxes and ReplayTVs (which are all ethernet-connected) and I have 1 laptop running Leopard and 1 running Tiger. We also have 2 iPhones.
The wired devices all seem to connect just fine. Occasionally, there is a delay in the connection (30 sec-1 min), but once it connects, they seem to stay connected.
The laptops take too long to connect to the AirNett network. If they do connect, it seems that the connection comes and goes. The iPhones have yet to connect to AirNett.
The Guest network serves all the wireless devices just fine, BUT, it does not allow connections to the Port Forwarding devices.
So, 2 issues... any ideas about :
1) why my primary network (AirNett) is not working properly for my wireless devices and
2) why my Guest network does not allow the Port Forwarding connections.
TIA for any suggestions.
Scott

That was my point - all my lan ports that use port 80 can point at port 80, and long as the WAN ports point at something else. The trouble is, I am restricted to only using 80,81 and 443 on the LAN side, which limits me to 3 (not counting 8080 for my routers web gui)
So that means with my two web cams and web gui on my NAS drive, I am unable to log into any other web interfaces on my LAN, unless I log into my router first, disable one port forward and enable another (using the same WAN port of 80 or 81) - which is doable but a PITA..
This is what is looks like on the router:
For example, if I change the port from field for the "tranmission" entry to anything but 80 or 81, it will not work, so if I want to get into my torrent gui on my NAS drive I have to disable "cam1" and enable "transmission"
I checked with my ISP and they are not blocking any ports, so I'm not sure how to get around this, unless I can serve up a page that shows feeds from more than one camera and serve it from one source, ie my router or NAS drive.

Port Forward Question _ BT HomeHub 3

Hello all,
Ive been trying to set up port forwarding on my bt router but to no avail so far.
On the port forwarding tab in the router settings when I click Add to assign a device nothing happens??
Ive tried on my iphone and laptop and the "add" button turns grey but nothing happens?
Can anyone help?

so your selecting the "game or application" then selecting the "device" and the "ADD" button stays grey?
or can you select add but after selection and the page refreshing the new device doesnt show up?
under "supported applications" you can manually set up a device vis "new game or application" as a last resort

Simple Port Forwarding Question

Sorry if this has been asked and answered many times before but I I've been at this for hours and I'm getting nowhere.
We have a Cisco 861 router. I've taken over the IT responsibilities from someone else and I'm just trying to forward TCP/UDP ports 5899 and 9010 to our server. I can access the server using Remote Desktop so I can see the previous IT person has gotten that far. Below is the output of our "Running Configuration".
I can see the line "ip port-map user-protocol--4 port tcp 3389" but I can't figure out how to add my own 5899 and 9010 lines.
I'm using the Cisco Configuration Professional UI but I don't have a problem using the command line interface if I'm sure I have the right commands to input. I started adding an extended rule using the ACL Editor in CCP but I'm afraid to deliver the changes to the router because it doesn't look anything like the "ip port-map user-protocol--4 port tcp 3389" line.
Here is the information generated from the ACL editor (again, I haven't delivered it to the router):
ip access-list extended user-protocol--05
remark Radmin5899
remark CCP_ACL Category=1
remark Radmin5899
permit tcp any host 10.10.10.10 eq 5899
exit
I don't think the ACL output is correct because I don't see the public IP.
How do I create a cusom ip port-map like the ones listed in the "Running Configuration"?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Turns out, through some quirk of either Java, IE or CCP, the "Port to Application Mappings" page was blank. I added the necessary application protocol and it worked for opening a port I needed open on the server. Even with the screen blank I could click on the blank area in different spots and the "Edit..." button would become available. For whatever reason, whenever I go into CCP now, the page is no longer blank.
I'm having a different problem now with opening ports for our camera DVR. I'll start a new thread for that.
Thanks for the help.

Port Forwarding Question

I have a WCG200 with a WRT310N router attached. I'm attempting to forward a few single ports across to one of the clients on the router. I seem to be unable to forward the ports to the clients on the wireless. Do I need to forward the ports from the Gateway to the Router then to the Client. Any ideas?

As you have 2 Wireless router, so you issue is NAT behind NAT. I think you can try to Open the ports on Both the router and check if it working or not. Who is your ISP. If it dosent work then you need to bypass anyone of your router and open the ports on your router, and i think this might solve your problem.

WRT54G ver 6 Port forwarding question

Howdy... I just purchased the WRT54G ver 6 router to replace my old wired one that was fried after losing power one night... plugged into a $60 surge protector... but I digress... I have 2 PCs plugged into this router... neither are wireless. I host a website and so I setup the router to forward port 80 to the webserver... The loading of images has become incredibly slow. Probably 3 to 4 Xs as slow as the old router... If I plug my cable modem into the pc direct it seems fine, so I dont see a bandwidth issue or upload problem... Seems to be at the router and more specific where the router is forwarding the request. Has anyone run into this? Are there settings on the router somewhere that I can tweak?

Try to lower your MTU settings.

Port Forwarding and Printing with Static IP Address

Hey there -
I am trying to setup a network printer that can be printed to from anywhere in the world. My organization has 5 static IP addresses given to us by our ISP. Four of those I have on computers, and one of them I have on my Linksys router (WRT54G v.8).
What I want to do is be able to setup a printer on my router that I can print to from anywhere I have an internet connection. My wireless router's static IP address is 74.172.54.XXX - The address on my network is 192.168.7.1 - I have a printer statically assigned the IP address 192.168.7.2 - and I have a port forwarding for port 70 to forward to 192.168.7.2
In theory, I would think that now I could print to 74.172.54.XXX:70 and have no problems. But that doesn't seem to be working. Even printing to 192.168.7.1:70 doesn't seem to work either.
Also, the printer has a web GUI interface that if I type http://192.168.7.1/ into my browser it comes up, so in theory I would think typing http://74.172.54.XXX:70 into my browser it should come up (but it doesn't nor does http://192.168.7.1:70).
Anybody got any suggestions? I tried to do a search about this, but ever Port Forwarding question seemed to deal with gaming (which I have no desire to do). Thanks!
I will include two screen snapshots of what I am talking about:
Thanks for any help.

Is the router setup to accept static connections?
I have my router set up to accept both, so from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.192 the addresses are static the other addresses are given by DHCP.
If you do not define a range and the address your laptop has as static IP conflicts with the address given by DHCP your loose ... as in you get no address.
Set up of that feature may depend on your type of router but usually any decent router will have that capability ... read your manual for specifics about your unit.
Best of luck.

Home Hub 3 Port Forwarding Issue - Question to BT

Question to BT
Hello i have recently joined BT Infinity and have hit the issue of the Port Forwarding not working. My HH3 is on the following version of software. Will this version automatically upgrade to the latest version of firmware and will this fix my port forwarding issue?
As i work in IT (Cisco Network Eng) i need to be able to access several devices/services at home and this is a real pain for me. If you think that this could drag on as some posts have indicated could you please let me know and i will either get a draytek or throw in a cisco 1841.
Thank you
Dean.

Port Forward and IP address question

I am configuring my father's computer so that I can "see" his screen. He's on a different network, using a mac with a wireless router. He enables remote desktop login, I use Chicken of the VNC software on my mac to see and control his computer.
Here's my question, when I set up his router to forward the ports so this will work, do I use the ports for apple remote desktop or VNC? (The ports overlap (5900) but are different.)
Also, which IP address do I enter into Chicken of the VNC? His router IP, his static IP that we assigned or his computer's IP.
Thanks for the help,
Rob

ok, but in his prefs for apple remote desktop, it gives the static IP address that we set as the address other people can use, so... any thoughts?
You use that private address if you are in the same subnet as his Mac. That is the address you enter into the port forwarding settings on the router because the router needs to send requests received on the public IP address to that unreachable private IP address.
When you are on the internet, you can't reach that private IP address.

Combo unix ssh port forwarding + iChatAV + Bonjour question

I don't know which forum is best for this question, so thought I'd try here first.
I've been tossing around the idea of picking up a couple of iSights and running iChatAV. Problem is, if I understand this correctly, iChatAV uses a couple of ports for connections to third-party servers: AOL buddy server or Jabber server, a port for something called snatmap, a port for SIP, and some other stuff. Plus, it requires that you open up nearly 20 ports on your network for the AV traffic! (I get nervous just having my non-standard ports for smtp and ssh open, and my imaps port open (which is another issue -- anybody know how to change imaps port 993 to a non-standard port if running uw-imap server?) It doesn't look like iChatAV can, normally, operate by "calling up" an IP address or hostname...it always has to set up calls using AOL or Jabber...unless, perhaps, the destination iSight/iChatAV is on your own Bonjour-capable subnet.
So, I'm thinking, what if a calling party created a ssh tunnel and port-forwarded the dozens of UDP and couple of TCP ports over a ssh tunnel, as a lengthy list of port forward options like "-L 5297:localhost:5297 -L ...", (assuming that the forwarding host, to whom the caller ssh's, is the same computer that is running iChatAV, hence, the remote host specification in the "-L" option of "localhost"). Would the caller then be able to treat the connection like Bonjour networking and when he calls localhost on his end of the circuit, it "bonjours" to the called hostname's localhost and thus a peer-to-peer connection would be made?
Or perhaps a reverse port forward tunnel ("-R" options) could be set up in advance by the "to-be-called" party, and then the calling party initiates a iChatAV call as a "same-subnet-as-calling-computer-via-Bonjour" type of call?
I'm just kicking around some thoughts here; I don't know enough about the intricacies of iChatAV and Bonjour (and ssh) to really know all the "gotchas" and I'd like to get the planning done with a high degree of confidence of success before I plunk out $300 on two iSights.
If the general concensus of the group moderator and others on this forum is that this question should be posted in another forum, I apologize, and I'll move, but I thought that the ssh tunneling nature of my inquiry (and my unrelated side question about how to change 993 to a non-standard port) made this forum the obvious, and best, choice.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on these issues!

No, you can't do what you describe. You have to use port forwarding on the router for any incoming connections, and each port forward rule can only map to a single server/service.
However, SSH has the ability to tunnel other connections, so it may be possible to remove one or more of the existing port forwarding rules and replace them with a SSH rule, then use SSH tunneling to get to those services. Of course, this will only work for services that only you (or other authorized users) need to access, and not public services such as web/http traffic (assuming you're running a public web site).
The only other option would be to replace your router with one that doesn't have such a strict limit on the number of port forwarding rules.

Port forwarding details

Hello, I want to port forward protocol 8443 to a server behind my Cisco router.
My Cisco router is in turn connected to an ADSL PSTN facing router.
I understand the command to do this would be:
ip nat inside source static tcp {localServerIPAddress} 8443 fastethernet 0/1 8443
My question is; do I still need to define "ip nat insde" to fa0/1 of my Cisco router ?
Do I need to do anything else ? (n.b. I have already opened ip the port on the ADSL router and pointed it towards my Cisco router)
Thanks for confirmation.

You could just point your ADSL NAT directly to your sever as well. That should work if your Cisco router isn't currently NATing and the ADSL router has a route to that subnet.
Also no you don't need the IP NAT source list. The static NAT is all you need.

Cisco 5520 ASA Port Forward to Endian Firewall VPN Question

Hello,
We have had a VPN operational on our Endian Firewall which uses OpenVPN server on port number 1194. We recently purchased a Cisco 5520 ASA to put in front of our Endian Firewall and I am still hoping to use our current Endian Firewall VPN server. So I am thinking the easiest way to make this happen is to port forward all vpn traffic through the ASA to our Endian Firewall to access the VPN. Anyhow, I am just hoping someone with higher knowledge can let me know if this is the best course of action or if there is another easier or more efficient way of doing this?
Thanks for your comments in advance I am new to cisco technology,
Joe

Question about port forwarding 2 xbox 360s to get rid of NAT on one of them

I have a xbox 360 with the official xbox 360 wireless antenna that is already set up for port forwarding and my NAT is fine. My brother has a xbox 360 and he has a NAT problem but he doesn't have a official xbox 360 wireless antenna, he hooked up his laptop to his xbox 360 via ethernet cable and is using his laptops wireless card for the connection and he gets a NAT error when he tests his connection to xbox live. Is it possible to port forward 2 xbox's? I'm sure I have to set up some type of static IP for him but the thing is that I'm not sure what IP address to assign to him. If it is possible, would he have to use a static IP address on his laptop since he's using that for a wireless connection? If this is at all possible could someone post some step-by-step instructions on how I should set this up? Below I will give you what I have set up for my xbox 360 to open up my NAT I just want to know what static IP I can use for him. Can I use just any numbers?
In my port forwarding tab in my wireless modem I have the following:
and in my xbox i have the following settings:
IP address: 192.168.1.20
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.1
I have all that entered for myself and my xbox NAT is open. I just need to set up his xbox if it is at all possible. Please help!!!
P.S. My router is a WRT54GS v2.0 with updated firmware, just incase you need that info.
Message Edited by nourotherleft on 01-08-2009 03:20 PM

ok that still didn't help me.... he still has a NAT problem.... I don't....I went to port triggering and added the ports that you described but it didn't open his NAT... If the connection is going through his laptop(acting like the xbox 360's wireless antenna) wouldn't either his laptop or his xbox need a static ip? because I had to set up my xbox manually with the following addresses:
ip: 192.168.1.20
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
default gateway: 192.168.1.1
primary dns: 4.2.2.2
secondary dns: 192.168.1.1
so in essence wouldn't his laptop need to be configured with some kind of static ip or something? because if he puts in what I just stated into his xbox it wont connect at all because I guess the ip's are conflicting....so what do I do now?

Port forwarding for online gaming...dumb question

Hi, I'm trying to set-up port forwarding for online gaming. There's a section that asks for port numbers, "Enter the starting numbers of the External Ports (the port numbers seen by users on the Internet)" Where do I find the numbers of the ports?

http://portforward.com/cports.htm
If the game isn't listed there, google for it.
